Money in Breeding Good Horses

The best horses in the world for high
service are bred in the United States
indeed, it may be said that this coun
try yields a bettes class of horses for
all work than does any other on the
globe; but, beyond all question, our
road horses are signally superior to
those of any other land.
There is money, good, substantial
money nor that in small quantity, in
breeding horses well, with fixed end
in view. Every farmer has, or may
have a coed mare; it may be not one
of great intrinsic value, but mare of
good points, well-spirited, good on
the road, well-modeled as dam, with
room to carry and ability to nourish
her foal. This mare is capable of
doing good service in breeding,
equally with that she renders in
other labors for her owner.
The farmers aim should be the
production Of the best foal possible.
because it costs no more to raise a
good than poor colt, and there is
no economy in using cheap or con
venient stallion, when frstclass one
of fit bloodlnes and high quality, can
be had for little extra trouble and
little more money.
Let our readers estimate the value
of care in breeding by considering
the prices which good stock brings,
even when young, and the condition
of the markets in cities and large
towns, where good, well-looking
horses, having good action. style.
and substance, always arein demand,
and they will conclude that it pays to
breed well.
There is no use in trying to breed
valuable stock,if the sire is selected at
haphazard; breeding is science, and
there can be no sure outcome from
either its study or application, unless
the progenitor of the stock shall have
been thoroughly bred. 1t is we'll to
use well-bred mare, whenever this
is possible; but strongly bred sire
will unfailingly improve upon the
most ordinarily bred dam, will more
than make good her deficiencies, an6
compensate for the investment.

The Burton Farmers Club congre-
gated at the residence of F. M. Shep
herd, April I4th. Meeting was
opened by well rendered piece Of
music by Miss Marcia Shepherd,
prayer by D. S. Cramer, and reading
Of the minutes; five new members
were elected, making as many as can
be taken in-the number being limit
ed TO fifteen families. Dinner was
announced, land il was a good one)
after which the papers prepared by
r. c. Shepherd, M. Park and c. X.
Woodin on the subject Of Corn Cul.
ture were read. 1t would take too
much space,to give in detail the con-
tents of the well written papers. The
discussion following was very inter
esting. Mr.. Cramer said that corn
should be planted quite deep in order
to keep the birds from pulling it..
Mrs Rowell wanted to know if crows
ate corn or whether they were after
the grubs. Mr.. Alexander said that
they were probably after grubs but
not finding any would pull up one
hill of corn after another-I think by
the time crow went over ten acre
field in this way it would get about
enough. F. M. Shepherd thought
that if scarecfows were put up and
the crows were kept off on the start
they would not bother the corn. C..
Rowell said that was just what kept
the cutworms off his corn, as the
scarecrows thus put scared the crows
away and they came over into his
field and ate up the grubs. M. Big
nall said that if the corn was soaked
in tar the birds would not touch it;
so the cure for crows is tar and for
grubs, crows.
The subject Of Fancy Work was
taken up by Mrs. T GLADDEN., Mrs.
c. RowelI and Mrs f. M. Shepherd
in well written papers; but Scissors
prefers 10 let the ladies make their
own report.
Mrs. King, corresponding secretary
of tie Kimble and Wales club of st.
Clair county was present, and 1t was
decided to correspond with different
clubs in the State; and Miss Marcia
WAS elected corresponding
secretary.
Tie subjects for the next meeting
are Woman's Work on the Farm and
How 10 Manage Travelling Agents.
The meeting will be held at R. c.
Shepherds in Rush.
G.. Il. Mason thought a man could

"fxhting his way to the 'front.'" He died
comparatively poor-a poverty rich in
honesty and integrity. In war a hero,
in peace a statesman; in both a con-
